Caption

This attractive display of the Bábí and Bahá’í dispensations was the culminating point of an art exhibition depicting the “Evolution of Religion”, the theme used by the Anchorage community for World Religion Day. An estimated 200 visitors viewed the art objects and sacred books of the individual displays for Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Mohammedanism, Christianity, Bábism, and The Bahá’í Faith. The Golden Rules of each religion gave a thread of continuity to the exhibits and recorded salon music furnished a pleasing background. An 8 by 11 foot Confucian Temple hanging worked with gold thread drew many people because of its mention in the newspaper publicity. Personal invitations to the clergy and Fort Richardson army Chaplains were extended and friends of Bahá’ís contributed greatly to the exhibits with one Buddhist priest, Hans Autore, of the Zend sect, presiding at that table to answer queries. Those attending described the displays as inspiring, educational, and a great tribute to the Bahá’í Faith.
